Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

After Gu Yuning finished speaking, the fox, driven by instinct, could no longer hold back.

The silver necklace around his neck made a crisp sound as it struck the ground, and the sound made Gu Yuning regret his purchase.

Unable to resist the fox spirit's coaxing, Gu Yuning willingly allowed him to drain her yang energy.

The sound of the silver ornaments accompanied the pleasure until late at night.

……

After being blocked by Gu Yuning, Chen Siyu threw a tantrum.

"My young master, why are you angry with him? Getting angry will harm your health."

The Chen family's collateral branches all depend on the main family, and over the years, the main family has relied on the collateral branches for help with many matters.

The collateral branches also did well, with several students admitted to the Imperial Academy that year, including Chen Qian, who often hung out with Chen Siyu, and Chen Guan, who happened to be assigned to the same class as Gu Yuning.

The person who just spoke was Chen Qian, who is currently in the same class as Chen Siyu.

Hearing his words, Chen Siyu was still not satisfied. He looked at Chen Guan and said, "Didn't you say he found that little fox? Did you see it clearly? Was that fox the one we deliberately released?"

Chen Guan frowned and pondered: "It was dark at the time, and Gu Yuning was holding the fox like a treasure, so I really didn't see it clearly."

"Useless! You can't even handle this simple matter. Also, how did the people in the basement die? Where did all those demons go?"

Chen Siyu was completely baffled, and Chen Shanhui had personally led a team to investigate the matter.

Seeing that he was venting his anger on Chen Guan, Chen Qian rolled his eyes and said, "The demons of Xuanshan deserve to die. The patriarch and the others will definitely be able to find the hiding place of the Xuanshan demons. The Fox King is dead. We can crush the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals with a single finger."

"Young Master, please don't be angry. At worst, we can contact that little fox. Regardless of whether it's the one we released or not, it must obey you."

Chen Siyu's expression softened considerably. He placed the teacup he was about to throw on the table and gave a cold snort.

"We've found Gu Yuning's address. Go find him tomorrow. While you're there, check if there are any fox demons. If Gu Yuning didn't kill the fox demon, then use the fox demon as an informant."

Chen Qian and Chen Guan exchanged a glance and said obsequiously, "Yes, we'll do as you say."

They chatted until midnight, and Chen Siyu only let the two leave when he was ready to sleep.

Chen Guan silently followed Chen Qian back to their room. They had come to the capital to study, and the Chen family had arranged their accommodation so that they could stay with Chen Siyu.

After washing up, a sudden burst of strength pushed Chen Guan down onto the bed. Chen Guan closed his eyes, but the expected thing didn't happen. Instead, he heard Chen Qian's soft laughter from above.

"Fool, if I hadn't been there, you would have gotten beaten up again."

Chen Guan opened his lifeless eyes and sighed wearily, "Brother Qian, I don't want to be here anymore."

He hugged Chen Qian's neck, his voice hoarse: "Please take me away. I don't want to get involved in the Chen family's affairs. I'm not a member of the Chen family."

He was an adopted child from a collateral branch of the Chen family. Because of his talent, he was bought by the collateral branch of the Chen family and raised as their son from a young age.

For years, he has been controlled by the Chen family, with nothing but cultivation and no freedom. Now he is even helping Chen Siyu harm people.

Tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Chen Qian lowered his head to kiss them: "Wait a little longer."

Chen Guan couldn't help but choke up, "I'm so scared, Brother Qian, I don't want to hurt anyone, not in the Chen family."

Chen Qian silently held him, soothing him with gentle kisses.

……

"Your Highness, the porridge is ready." 250, who was watching the pot in the kitchen, called out to Akahoshi in his mind sea.

Early in the morning, the little black cat comes out of the dark room to do chores; this family would fall apart without it.

"Did you ask for leave?" Gu Yuning's voice was hoarse.

Akahoshi leaned down and kissed him on the forehead, then hugged him tightly: "I just took a week off."

With Zhang Xiao's connections, it wouldn't be difficult for them to ask for leave.

After finishing breakfast, the fox's tail gently hooked up again, and Gu Yuning's ears burned. She grabbed the big tail.

"Don't make trouble."

Akahoshi lay down beside him, nuzzling his head closer, his furry ears twitching, his eyes fixed on him without blinking.

Finally, Gu Yuning sighed softly, hugged him tightly, and whispered, "Go to sleep, and don't move around."

Last night... because she didn't get enough rest, Chi Xing didn't bother Gu Yuning anymore, and the two of them took a nap together.

Akahoshi was woken up by 250.

Chen Siyu has arrived with several people, presumably intending to capture the Immortal Lord and take him back to the Chen family.

Chi Xing simply pulled Gu Yuning closer to his chest, used his divine power to block out the sounds outside, closed his eyes, and continued to sleep.

The knocking was ignored. After a moment of silence, 250 quietly opened the door.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but the entrance was pitch black. Even Chen Siyu, the young master of the Chen family, stopped in his tracks.

“Gu Yuning, I know you’re in there. Stop playing tricks.”

The only sound coming from inside the room was Chen Siyu's own echo; there were no other sounds.

Chen Guan took a half step back, one hand trembling slightly behind his back.

"It looks like no one's here, young master. Shall we go back first?" Chen Qian said.

"No, we finally found Gu Yuning's address. He's a member of the Chen family, so of course he has to go back to the Chen family."

He pointed to one of the Chen family bodyguards next to him: "You, go in and see what's going on."

The man looked terrified: "This, young master, something doesn't look right here, perhaps..."

"Stop talking nonsense, just go in." Chen Siyu insisted that he go in.

He pointed to the others beside him and said, "You all come in too."

The people who were called showed resistance on their faces, but they still dared not disobey Chen Siyu. Just as they walked in with trepidation, a chill ran from the soles of their feet all the way to the top of their heads.

With a loud "bang," the door slammed shut.

"Ahhh-"

"A demon, it's a demon—"

A giant cat face appeared before them, its eerie green eyes magnified in the darkness, causing them to scream in terror.

Hearing the screams, the person outside stopped abruptly in their tracks as they were about to open the door, and the sounds from inside continued:

"Spare us! Don't kill us! Ahhh!"

The screams grew shrill as the group was lifted into the void by a surge of demonic power, the surrounding darkness seeming to engulf them completely.

As the cat's eye disappeared, a sharp pain suddenly shot through the necks of the group. In a few swift movements, the skin on their necks was torn open, and warm blood slowly flowed down.

The pain made them tremble all over, and they felt death approaching, so they screamed even louder.

Those outside the door had no idea what was happening inside. Chen Siyu had never seen anything like this before and instinctively backed away.

Taking the opportunity, Chen Qian said, "Young Master, we can't sense any demonic energy. There must be a very powerful demon living in here."

Chen Siyu retorted, "How could that be? This isn't Gu Yuning's residence!"

"Or is it that Gu Yuning has already colluded with the demon race?"

The more he talked about it, the more convinced he became of it, and he ordered the others to open the door.
